I have a problem with Remote Desktop connection in Windows 7. When I connect to remote computer I would like to switch to fullscreen like I did in previous versions – just by clicking maximize. When I was in fullscreen mode and I moved the mouse to the upper border of the screen, a nice bar appeared and I could minimize RDP or close it.
In Windows 7 when I click on the maximize button the window maximizes like a normal window – menu start/taskbar (whatever you call it) is still visible and because the resolution of the RDP client desktop is set like on the computer that I'm using it's not fully visible and scrollbars appear. That's really annoying.
Can anyone tell me what to do? Is it a bug or maybe there is a "magic shortcut" that is poorly documented and does the trick? (I was trying to find it myself first of course, but no result)

Try CTRL+ALT+BREAK - that should put you back in full screen mode.
